- When making a cup of hot cocoa, use about ¼ of a cup of powder per cup of hot water or milk, or adjust to taste preference.
- Top the powder with ¼ cup of mini marshmallows if adding.
- Pour hot liquid over the cocoa powder, stirring until the powder has dissolved. Enjoy!

Notes
*Please feel free to taste test!
Some folks prefer pure dark cocoa flavor of the original recipe and then adding in marshmallows, sweeteners, or flavored liquors. Other folks would prefer a sweeter flavor profile. You can safely add up to 2 more cups of confectioners' sugar to this recipe. You will need a larger storage container.
